Julia, We are in the process of setting up our connection to the net, so at present, we have only a pretty standard statement out about the benefits of joining the Natural History Museum (http://cwis.usc.edu:80/lacmnh/member.html). We are considering offering some online services to members: 1. Natural History "Chat" rooms. 2. Access to "members only" information/newsletter 3. Possibly even eMail accounts and web access As I said, we are only considering these things at this time. I also would be interested in learning what online membership services are being offered.
